You seem to be of the opinion that some day, binary executables will
be compiled using pure Python code. Maybe that's true; maybe it's not.
More likely would be the option to ship a C compiler with Python written
in C. For C++ this is way too big, but a pure C compiler can be as small
as 1MB. tcc has a liberal license, supports many platforms and gives
reasonable (unoptimized) code. AFAIK Mathworks does that, they ship tcc
on Windows so that you can build .mex files without installing
additional software, though they recommend to get a decent compiler for
performance reasons
